no, the Amazon kindle is very much like the apple of e-readers Apsalar Shadowdancer Send a noteboard - 08/02/2011 12:20:57 AM
the other e-readers are much more open on sharing and file format support. While the kindle is very limited, but if you are tech savvy at all it is very easy to convert any eBook to a different format that the kindle can use.

Calibre is a e-book application that freely changes formats between e-pub/mobi and almost every other e-book type. I have yet to run into an eBook i couldn't just load into the program, convert to .mobi and start reading in like 3 mins. you can also look up(and add to your eBook) covers and meta data for a book as long as you know the ISBN (2 second search on google/amazon).

Are you using the leather case that's non-lighted? *NM* LiterateDog - 07/02/2011 03:25:16 AM 289 Views
I got the lighted cover. Fox and Ravens - 07/02/2011 03:33:53 AM 710 Views
Hmm. Sounds like it's shorting your system and rebooting it. LiterateDog - 07/02/2011 03:36:29 AM 627 Views
